sorry to clutter cobirds with an id request of a CA siting...but I am stuck...and I've tried whatbird and xeno-canto. See the name of one of our local experts with postings of audio recordings (you know who you are Ted...) I am going to reach out to this group.
place: sierra nevada mtns location heard: 9k-11k ft...heard it many times on a 40 mile backpack trip habitat: trees, perched on top of tall evergreens to sing visual description: fairly non-descript brown/grey/white, warbler/townsends solitaire size, seemed a close match to warbling vireo in coloring, the tail seemed fairly short general description of song: melodic, one song was 8 notes in about 4s (fairly slow), then repeated with a slight modulation, the ending notes of the song sounded like woodwind or chimes (very pleasing), the last 6 notes (faster than the firstt 2) were in a sequence of 2 notes close in pitch so in short, one of the most pleasant songs, from an obviously common, average-sized, perching bird in the Sierra Mtns tx Ron Bolton Berthoud -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
